Bucket Lists

Tweet

With only a couple of years left of my working career, my mind often drifts off to the bucket list. You know the list that we fill when we do not have the time or the money to do something or go somewhere that we would really love to go. Something that we may have heard about, but have tweaked to work just for you, or for yourself and your significant other. Top of that list for me has always been a trip to our Eastern Provinces. Although, still part of our vast country, they have a flair and culture very unique to themselves. Something that other visitors have advised me of, and something that I would love to experience. They are a very warm and hospitable population. Just think back to the events of 9/11 when all of those airline flights were routed into the Gander airport in Newfoundland. The passengers were there for days, full of uncertainty, full of fears, but all seemed to have loved their time there due to the locals. My bucket list 'dream' trip includes a 10 hour train ride from our city (London, ON) to Montreal, Quebec. We would take a hotel room for the night and arrive bright and early the following day to take the East Coast tour ride. We would ride on a sleeper car, having full window views and a place to sleep. Meals are served of course as we would pass through Quebec, Newfoundland, and New Brunswick. We would opt to stay a bit at the final destination before travelling further to take in Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia. So much to imagine, so much to get excited for. Do you have any adventures on your bucket list that you are looking forward to?
